I used to save scum as a kid, my enjoyment back then was seeing players get crazy stats and getting a team full of the biggest names. Obviously as you het older you goals change, and you find constantly winning boring. But like you say say, it's a game and people get enjoyment in different ways.
9:17 Vitinho scored the equaliser in a Carabao cup Semifinal second leg in the 83rd minute, a screamer from the edge of the area with his bad foot playing in a position he never played for me but he is the type of player who's always on the bench because he can play both sides fullback, wingback, midfield and winger but he's 2 stars and actually never plays but he was my last substitution and I had forgotten to put my backup LW on the bench. That was his only goal for me, we won on ET and went on to win the final with Burnley. The Goat.
9:17 I had a guy who I signed for Llangefni Town (Wales 2nd division North at the time) named Jay Wilkes who was legendary for me despite his attributes. In our first ever Europa League group stage on match day 6 at the age of 34 I sub him of for him to go and score two, the second of which was a volley from about 23 yards out to the keeper's right hand side on a ball played in from behind him that he smashed into the top far corner. This was also away against Fenerbahce and this goal knocked them out in the group stage.
Possibly my greatest ever achievements in FM. I spent the first 13 seasons in charge of Maritzburg United, in the South African league, winning 41 trophies. 27 years later they build a new stadium and name it after me 🥰 I'm currently in charge of Dortmund. Took over after their manager retired after an undefeated league season. And now after my first season in charge we went undefeated in all competitions. 55 games, 52 wins. First time ever with an entire season undefeated!
10:25 - I haven't had this happen to me on FM, but it did on an older pre-EA FC FIFA title. Signed a player for £42m and he got injured 30 minutes into his first match.
1:19 I do distinctly remember moving players or loaning them out to teams I just enjoyed and randomly remembered. Chol-Bom Kim, aka "Supreme Leader," my absolute ace defensive midfielder from North Korea across two saves (Vancouver FC, which I finished, and Auckland City, which I did not because the New Zealand league is a headache to navigate), got himself a peachy move to Finnish lower-league side and minor football RUclips meme FC Santa Claus, just cuz I loved the idea of an intense North Korean midfielder having to figure it out at a club in Lapland ostensibly managed by Santa Claus.
I asked MS Co-Pilot to roast you: "Oh, Zealand, the self-proclaimed Football Manager guru! He’s like the guy who thinks he’s Pep Guardiola but ends up managing like David Moyes on a bad day. His tactics are so revolutionary, they often leave his virtual teams in the relegation zone. And let’s not forget his “expert” transfer advice-he’s the reason why virtual clubs are bankrupt by mid-season! But hey, at least he’s entertaining while he’s leading his teams to disaster. If you ever need a lesson on how not to manage a football team, Zealand’s your guy! 😄" I think the other AI did it much better. Maybe we can call it the Zealand Test, and use it to judge the quality of LLM AIs.
1:25 bro this is too real. Every save I have started since fm20, I use the editor in game to try gel Weston super Mare and others small teams to some glory, besides my actual save. I add money, staff teams even loan players. The most success I’ve get to Mare was a League One promotion. 😂
I'm playing a Harlow Town save, they start in the 9th(maybe 8th?) level of the English football, my first season my youth intake were literally all 3-5star/5stars. 2 seasons, and 2 promotions, later they're all 3 star potential and will likely be 2 stars when I get promoted again.
With the editor I was transfering legends that doesnt play in the europe top leagues(ronaldo messi etc.) to my local team who is competing in Turkish Amateur League to get them to the turkish super league
I used to savescum contract negotiations when I was learning the game to see what I could get away with... and this one game where half my team either broke their leg or ripped a muscle; I had 6 seriously injured players after that match that would be out for 2+ months. Won the game, but I was like F this.
(Verse 1) Loaning out a player, a risky affair, Sending them away, with hope and prayer. A chance to shine, a chance to grow, Or will they return, a fading glow? (Chorus) Loaning, loaning, a footballing game, A gamble of talent, a hope and a name. A temporary fix, a future unknown, A player's journey, a loaner's own. (Verse 2) A foreign land, a different style, A challenge to face, a different mile. Adapting to change, a mental test, Will they succeed, or will they be stressed? (Chorus) Loaning, loaning, a footballing game, A gamble of talent, a hope and a name. A temporary fix, a future unknown, A player's journey, a loaner's own. (Bridge) Some find their spark, a hidden gem, A permanent deal, a future dream. Others return, lost and forlorn, A loan spell ended, a lesson learned. (Chorus) Loaning, loaning, a footballing game, A gamble of talent, a hope and a name. A temporary fix, a future unknown, A player's journey, a loaner's own. Thanks to gemini here is a song about loaning players
I show up for the loan song The loan song is what gets me out of bed I am 100% all in for the loan song If the loan song doesnt have fans, then I am dead.
I like that. A multilayered troll. Yes the gk is a trashcan, but on another level that's you after 2k hours saying you're sick of signing bad goalies! 😂
"Hi FBI, how you doing?" 🤣 "Against Everton you could probably play like a low block and overturn a 2 goal deficit." Missed opportunity to insert an angry Reece face. The ChatGPT roast of Zealand. 😂 Get out for managing PSG? Who did a 12 hour stream managing as PSG until they lost? "What do I know? I'm a paid shill anyways." Finally he admits it! Kappa Zealand caught on that the last one was a formation faster than I did.
As a fan of a third-division club, I keep on wondering why there are weeks in which we don't play at all. Then I remember international breaks and my disdain for overly commercialized football is bolstered once more.
‘ChatGPT leave me a-loan…’
We saw that coming Zealand
We all know the real reason Antoine Griezmann is retiring from international football is so he can play more FM during those breaks
Tom Scott has a perfect response because he basically recorded every combination of words possible
Maybe those clubs misread Will Couch as Will Coach
or Will Crouch score?
Will Will Coach Coach?
3:32 Getting roast by the AI is WILD
5:34 Load up a save with every tier of england and you'll end up with over 3400+ clubs wanting to sign a single player
Yeah, I've seen the same screen on TwiXter - guy had whole British pyramid loaded for that save
Then imagine the fake lore you could create for why they all want to sign him. 🤔
It is always so funny 😂
I made the mistake of doing that and having to wait 5 mins to advance 3 hours in game 😫
I used to save scum as a kid, my enjoyment back then was seeing players get crazy stats and getting a team full of the biggest names. Obviously as you het older you goals change, and you find constantly winning boring. But like you say say, it's a game and people get enjoyment in different ways.
Leave me alone or.......leave me a loan? 4:47
DAMN CHAT GPT IS RUTHLESS ON ZEALAND LMAO
Ikr ChatGPT went for it on those roasts yet knows enough about him to be like his roommate lol
9:17 Vitinho scored the equaliser in a Carabao cup Semifinal second leg in the 83rd minute, a screamer from the edge of the area with his bad foot playing in a position he never played for me but he is the type of player who's always on the bench because he can play both sides fullback, wingback, midfield and winger but he's 2 stars and actually never plays but he was my last substitution and I had forgotten to put my backup LW on the bench.

The realisation of the icon formation was great!
9:17 I had a guy who I signed for Llangefni Town (Wales 2nd division North at the time) named Jay Wilkes who was legendary for me despite his attributes. In our first ever Europa League group stage on match day 6 at the age of 34 I sub him of for him to go and score two, the second of which was a volley from about 23 yards out to the keeper's right hand side on a ball played in from behind him that he smashed into the top far corner. This was also away against Fenerbahce and this goal knocked them out in the group stage.
Ngl I would watch an entire series of ChatGPT roasting all things Zealand and FM. Sign me up! 😂
Possibly my greatest ever achievements in FM.

Waiting for Zealand to notice the desktop formation...
Now I want him to rate it...
10:25 - I haven't had this happen to me on FM, but it did on an older pre-EA FC FIFA title. Signed a player for £42m and he got injured 30 minutes into his first match.
Dude, its John Terry!!!
Watch your girl, he has a bit of a reputation!
1:19 I do distinctly remember moving players or loaning them out to teams I just enjoyed and randomly remembered. Chol-Bom Kim, aka "Supreme Leader," my absolute ace defensive midfielder from North Korea across two saves (Vancouver FC, which I finished, and Auckland City, which I did not because the New Zealand league is a headache to navigate), got himself a peachy move to Finnish lower-league side and minor football RUclips meme FC Santa Claus, just cuz I loved the idea of an intense North Korean midfielder having to figure it out at a club in Lapland ostensibly managed by Santa Claus.
someone needs to tell Zealandism this rapscallion is using his likeness to profit
I made the chatgpt roast Zealand so I could get on the meme video and it worked! 😆
Zealand Cinematic Universe is just such a nice companion to the morning coffee. Cheers.
"John Terry very nice guy" such a subtle joke people might think youre serious.
I asked MS Co-Pilot to roast you:
"Oh, Zealand, the self-proclaimed Football Manager guru! He’s like the guy who thinks he’s Pep Guardiola but ends up managing like David Moyes on a bad day.

"And let’s not forget his “expert” transfer advice-he’s the reason why virtual clubs are bankrupt by mid-season!" - loved that part! 🤣
5:00 as somebody who played as PSG the first time I played FM, I won the Ucl in the first season then never played it again
That work permit meme made me laugh out loud!
That Martinez meme is accurate, especially considering the Villa-Munich score last night 😂
8:57 he also appeared as the host of the ucl ro16 draw in game on the English save and they got him to do it irl
The Chatgpt roast was amazing
"John Terry is a nice guy"
*Wayne Bridge entered the chat*
8:56 Mombot would beg to differ
1:25 bro this is too real. Every save I have started since fm20, I use the editor in game to try gel Weston super Mare and others small teams to some glory, besides my actual save. I add money, staff teams even loan players. The most success I’ve get to Mare was a League One promotion. 😂
I'd use that roast as my CV cover letter
The great thing about that Moises Deniz game is that the other meme player Robim Wulpillier scored in extra time to take it to penalties.
I'm playing a Harlow Town save, they start in the 9th(maybe 8th?) level of the English football, my first season my youth intake were literally all 3-5star/5stars. 2 seasons, and 2 promotions, later they're all 3 star potential and will likely be 2 stars when I get promoted again.
With the editor I was transfering legends that doesnt play in the europe top leagues(ronaldo messi etc.) to my local team who is competing in Turkish Amateur League to get them to the turkish super league
The ultimate fm meme is to be up 3-0 only to lose the game in the final 15 minutes
That AI roast was actually vicious.
Chat GPT just a spellchecker with delusions of grandeur.
The San Diego Zoo is awesome!!!
Surprises me that Zealand hasn't watched the entire Tom Scott backlog
I used to savescum contract negotiations when I was learning the game to see what I could get away with... and this one game where half my team either broke their leg or ripped a muscle; I had 6 seriously injured players after that match that would be out for 2+ months. Won the game, but I was like F this.
2:01 and SI took that personally, hence removing the international management all together in FM25.
Tom Scott is a gem
I think I have Will Couch in my Darlington save, but I've not renewed his contract!
"you can play an entire season in a day"
*looks at my saves that took 100 hours to get through a season*
HOW
Processor speed and how you play the game I imagine.
"Damn you bournemouth!" - Me way too often.
It's gotta be the 20 level English lower leagues database to have 1400 teams interested in a player
(Verse 1)
Loaning out a player, a risky affair,
Sending them away, with hope and prayer.
A chance to shine, a chance to grow,
Or will they return, a fading glow?
(Chorus)
Loaning, loaning, a footballing game,
A gamble of talent, a hope and a name.
A temporary fix, a future unknown,
A player's journey, a loaner's own.
(Verse 2)
A foreign land, a different style,
A challenge to face, a different mile.
Adapting to change, a mental test,
Will they succeed, or will they be stressed?
(Chorus)
Loaning, loaning, a footballing game,
A gamble of talent, a hope and a name.
A temporary fix, a future unknown,
A player's journey, a loaner's own.
(Bridge)
Some find their spark, a hidden gem,
A permanent deal, a future dream.
Others return, lost and forlorn,
A loan spell ended, a lesson learned.
(Chorus)
Loaning, loaning, a footballing game,
A gamble of talent, a hope and a name.
A temporary fix, a future unknown,
A player's journey, a loaner's own.
Thanks to gemini here is a song about loaning players
Albian Ajeti is a Vlahovic regen? Hey , let me have my moment of glory. Last night , we won
cant believe its all coming to an end
I feel like steam would be better at centre back with photoshop at fullback. Chrome is definitely a centre back tho
Even if I was in the English 6th league, if I got a 5/5 star guy, I'd still be chuffed. That's nuts
Hey I’m an American that plays this game
I am one of the proud dozens.
Defnitely gonna put my icons in an Asymmetric formation...
The last meme hit hard. My current goalie is also a trashcan.....😭
1:40 Griezmann is indeed very cute I must say (😳)
Streets wont forget when zealand got taunton town get promoted to the vanarama national league!!!😮
I show up for the loan song
The loan song is what gets me out of bed
I am 100% all in for the loan song
If the loan song doesnt have fans, then I am dead.
11:14 I know what I'm doing now XD
Where did you get the 'Football, Bloody Hell' poster? I'm very interested in getting one for myself
ACKCHYUALLY in under 60 seconds.
that roast was ok, had some funny bits
I take offence that their GK is Trash Bin 😂
I like that. A multilayered troll. Yes the gk is a trashcan, but on another level that's you after 2k hours saying you're sick of signing bad goalies! 😂
This deserves way more views!
Man that ai torched you
10:15 great Libyan joke 😂
they are in 433 holding🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just want them to bring back training sliders
Ein Land.Eine Nation.eine kommentarsektion.🇩🇪🇩🇪
The best name from East/West bowl is still Donkey Teeth
LOOOOOOAAAAANNNNNNNSSSSSS
4:48 leave me alone or leave me a loan? 🤔
does anyone elses like button get highlighted when Z is reading chat GPT & it talks about "youtubers smashing the like button"
No Real penalty, no Real party!
"Hi FBI, how you doing?" 🤣
"Against Everton you could probably play like a low block and overturn a 2 goal deficit." Missed opportunity to insert an angry Reece face.
The ChatGPT roast of Zealand. 😂 Get out for managing PSG? Who did a 12 hour stream managing as PSG until they lost?
"What do I know? I'm a paid shill anyways." Finally he admits it! Kappa
Zealand caught on that the last one was a formation faster than I did.
9:25 i played a 16 year old 1star newgen vs chelsea for fun cause i needed to rest mainoo
The newgen scored 2 goals as a DM on his debut vs Chelsea
Making it into one of these videos is my crowning achievement with my Alex former child meme 🫡 I have completed fm life 😂
wtf I was at that Dynamo game 7:38
What did Juan chaverra do to get on the saints list as an opponent 😭
That was a goalkeeper that made a triple save against Zealand.
diese kommentarsektion ist nun Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
That is so unrealistic why is Google a defender
Ps 11:13
How do you play 1 season in 1 day? For me it's like 50h of gameplay, but I'll check my saves 😅
I reckon that depends how many leagues you load up as well as the roles you delegate in-game leaving you to focus on bare minimum lol
Zealand & Zealandism to collab 1 day ?
Has a bank ever offered to sponsor Zealand and buy his loan songs? Or are American/ Canadian ad agencies just boring people
the last time i was this early i had left someone extremely disappointed
LOANS!
i still cant figure out how to make mini
leagues with 3 to 10 national teams
please make a video of it and help me
Why'd you sub on a 1-star backup, when you need a winner
(american that plays fm hiding now)
Hey Zealand ! What do you think about the new roadmap for FM25 released by SI recently ?
His reaction unlocks: TBA
I’m one of the 12 Americans to play fm!
First meme I posted made it into a video lol
9:20 Duran against Bayern in the UCL?
I’m one of the dozens 🫡😂
whats the best FM24 skin anyone? Also anyone know of a bug as to why the match day tablet is just kind of missing?
You can sign greyed out players?!?!?!?!
Hello, yes, I is American also
yho zealand want to join the fooball manager but i do not have equipment but i enjoy wacthing u
